We will win 2024 General Election -PNP 

Published

on

The People’s National Party (PNP) says it is poised to contest and win the 2024 presidential election after securing provisional certificate from the Electoral Commission. 

The acquisition of the provisional certificate, which is in accordance with Section 8 (2) of the Political Parties Act, 2000 (ACT 574), means that the Organisation has been granted permission to mobilise itself into a political party in compliance with the country’s electoral laws. 

The PNP, which operates with the slogan: “My Family, My Community, My Motherland” and has palm-tree as its symbol, was formed by some executives that broke away from the People’s National Convention. 

Announcing the provisional certificate at a press conference in Accra, Ms Janet Nabla, Chair and Leader of the PNP, said the Party was racing to complete the main certification requirements within one month. 

She said the Party had already elected constituency executives and set up offices in some regions, adding that measures had been put in place to expand the Party’s reach and popularity. 

Ms Nabla told journalists that the Party would also be embarking on nationwide constituency tour and open nominations for presidential primaries simultaneously within June 2024. 

“By the end of this month, we will finish everything and make sure that we get the last certificate to enable us to contest in election 2024,” she said. 

The PNP stands on a political ideology that seeks to build Ghana’s democracy on the rich Ghanaian family and community values by developing deliberate policies to support families and communities. 

Mr Sulemana Seidu, General Secretary, PNP, said the Party would bring family and community issues to the centre of political and public policy. 

“We believe that as families are empowered and conditions in our communities improve, the economy will grow in leaps and bounds. We reject the notion that Ghana can develop on the basis of empowering a few minorities of well-connected citizens with capital through state sponsorship and assistance,” he said. 

The PNP said it would abolish the free market economy in its current form and introduce stringent price controls if elected into office.  

The Party said the move would ensure the affordability of essential goods and services by all Ghanaians. 

“By implementing these price controls, we aim to stabilise the economy, curb inflation, and protect our citizens from the predatory practices that have become all too common,” Mr Seidu said.

With the December 7 elections drawing near, tension is growing across the country. Presidential candidates and their teams are working hard to connect with voters through active campaigns in every region.

The two main political parties, the NPP and NDC, are focused on securing support. Many people want the NPP to stay in power, while others believe that a change to the NDC might help reset the economy.

Additionally, a smaller group of voters is interested in supporting smaller parties, moving away from the traditional two-party system.

In preparation for the elections, analysts have been conducting studies to gauge the progress of each candidate.

Global Info Analytics, a key player in tracking public opinion, has been gathering data through online and telephone polls.

Their recent survey in October indicated that John Mahama, the NDC candidate, was leading with a projected 52.1% of the vote.

In a recent update on their official Twitter account, Global Info Analytics shared results from a new poll conducted between late October and early November.

The latest data still shows Mahama in the lead, with an increased percentage of 52.7%.

This update has sparked a variety of reactions on social media.

Many supporters of the NDC were pleased with the news, while others questioned the accuracy of the poll and expressed confidence that the NPP will win.

Mahama Rejects Military Deployment At Polls

Published

on

Former President John Mahama has sounded a warning against the deployment of armed military and security operatives to polling and coalition centers, describing it as a recipe for chaos that must be stopped.

This call to action comes ahead of Ghana’s December 7 elections, where Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) is locked in a close contest with the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

A History of Tensions

Ghana’s electoral landscape has been marred by tensions and disputes, particularly between the NDC and NPP.

The 2012 and 2020 elections saw disputes over results, with the NDC rejecting the 2020 outcome.

Mahama’s Proposal for Peace

John Mahama has proposed expanding the signatories to the Peace Pact to include all stakeholders in the elections.

This, he believes, will bind institutions to play their roles effectively for a peaceful election.

He also urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to remain impartial and the Judiciary to be fair and neutral in resolving election disputes.

EC’s Response

Samuel Tettey, Deputy Chairperson of the EC in charge of Operations, assured that the EC’s activities and processes have been transparent and open.

He said the EC will continue to engage stakeholders transparently to ensure a fair electoral process.

‘Burning galamsey equipment doesn’t make any sense’ – Alan fires

Published

on

The presidential candidate for the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has laid out a detailed plan to tackle illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, with a focus on demobilising the equipment used in the activity.

Mr Kyerematen criticised the current government’s approach of seizing and burning excavators, calling it ineffective and short-sighted.

According to the former Trade Minister, the practice of burning equipment does not offer a long-term solution to the galamsey crisis.

He proposed a more strategic approach that involves the military in a systematic and sustainable demobilisation of mining machinery.

This, he believes, will better address the root of the problem without causing unnecessary destruction.

The demobilisation plan is part of Kyerematen’s broader 10-point blueprint to combat illegal mining.

A key aspect of this blueprint is a one-year nationwide ban on small-scale and community mining, which will provide the necessary time to introduce proper regulations and rehabilitate the damaged environment.

He has called for a shift in government policy, advocating for a more measured and impactful response to the galamsey issue, which continues to pose serious threats to Ghana’s land and water resources.

“Demobilisation of all machinery and equipment that are currently used in small-scale and community mining. Under the supervision of the military, if you demobilise equipment, you need to do three things- first, you need to keep them under inventory, two, you need to have them properly stored and three, you preserve them.”

“This practice of burning equipment doesn’t make any sense. And that is why the GTP (Great Transformational Plan) proposes that you demobilise, and inventorise them so that you know what you have. Otherwise, after one year, they will be out of use,” he stated.
